“…HE competency-based education is an emerging interest because this approach integrates knowledge, skills, values and attitudes (Baethge et al , 2006; Rychen and Salganik, 2003).

“…Competency-based HE allows students to acquire important knowledge, skills, values and attitudes, which they will require in their future professional and personal lives. Many times, the use of competences has been misinterpreted or confused with knowledge, skills, values or attitudes (Baethge et al , 2006). It is recognized that competences encompass much more than knowledge and skills.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse which are the active learning methodologies, which had better contribute to acquiring competences for sustainable development (SD) in higher education. Design/methodology/approach Cluster analysis is used to define 252 students’ skills patterns and their perception of the different active learning methodologies conducted in class to promote SD. Findings The results show how different learning methodologies enhance SD, the quality assessment perception of students regarding the methodologies used in class and present real-world experiences, problem-based learning and case studies as the active learning methodologies that had better promote SD. Research limitations/implications The limitations of the study are that the results obtained are particular for one university and are not generalizable to other institutions and could vary depending on the degree and year of study of the group of student participants. Practical implications The research proposes to introduce active learning methodologies in general and real-world experiences, problem-based learning and case studies in particular, in education for sustainable development. Social implications These research findings could be used for those interested in applying active learning methodologies to foster the acquisition of SD competences to promote the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development goals. Originality/value This research study aims to shed light on the nascent stage of the relationship between pedagogical approaches used in higher education to develop sustainability competences.

“…Contrary to international assessment programmes of students and adults (e.g., PISA, PIAAC), VET-LSA does not claim to be an overall representative survey. The aim is to include some of the most important industrial/technical, commercial/administrative, and care occupations in the sample 15 Baethge et al 2007;Baethge et al 2006).…”

“…Yet as we examine in this chapter, they constitute determinants of the development of vocational competence for people entering a vocational training program (Lehmann & Seeber 2007). We argue that these concepts are critical to a person's ability to develop professional competence in vocational training and therefore to integrate into and shape wider society as a professional (Baethge et al 2006;Deißinger 1998). …”
